I have to sell my car! It's a 1983 Mercedes 240D. It has 231,000 miles on the clock and it's still going strong. It's been a lot of fun but it needs to go to a good home now.

I've done about $4k of the deferred maintenance and repairs that had built up over time. Replaced the radiator, thermostat, coolant temp sender, glow plugs, glow plug relay, A/C relays, tie rods, CV boots, valve cover gasket (with valve adjustment), exhaust manifold gasket, oil separator and associated tubing, vacuum 3/2 switch on the valve cover, transmission modulator, master vacuum hose, starter, and stereo. It starts easily and runs strong. The air conditioner works!

There are a ton of high-resolution photos here: http://www.spokescouncil.org/car/

I just bought another vehicle (Honda Odyssey) and as much as I'd love to keep the Benz, I can't afford to, nor is there any place. I'm very motivated to get it gone soon as it currently has no tag, in a place that doesn't allow no-tag vehicles, so I imagine I can push it for a week or two before I have to figure something else out.

Roof rack not included. I'm looking for around $4500, send me a message or an e-mail if you have comments about that price or have a different number in mind.

Accepting offers, someone surely wants a nice 240D!

Surely someone wants a good car!

You'll have to put in about $4500 of work, then you might be able to.

I bought this one for $5500 in better cosmetic but deceptive mechanical condition, and put $4000 into it to restore it to very good mechanical (but with a little more cosmetic wear now)
